rob1957 Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 We found this kit in a Second Hand Store . Missing intake/carbs . Replaced with resin parts . This is our second build after getting back into the hobby . Decals had deteriorated so I airbrushed the stripe on the side and hood . Not sure how old this kit is , box was in really bad shape .
rob1957 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Posted November 7, 2020 Colour was Vallejo Air , can't remember exactly which one .
rob1957 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Posted November 7, 2020 Under the hood view with resin carbs and intake . Battery , hoses , windshield washer jug were all molded in one piece into "body" . We added the hose on passenger side . I think we used Detail Master plugwires and dist. cap.
rob1957 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Posted November 7, 2020 Bare Metal Foil . Our camera isn't too good for close-up shots .
rob1957 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Posted November 7, 2020 And there we have it . It was a fun build . I'm 62 now and I haven't built anything since I was in elementary school . So I'm still on the learning curve . My lovely wife did the work to resize the images Enjoy ! Robert.
doorsovdoon Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Man, that looks nice. Good job on replacing the missing parts, very nicely detailed engine and nice work on the pinstripe.
Steamboat Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Nicely done! I believe Plymouth called it "Sassy Grass" green. Welcome back!
rob1957 Posted November 8, 2020 Author Posted November 8, 2020 Thank You for the feedback on the build . The molded hoses under the hood were tricky to paint . I picked up a battery detail kit by Detail Masters but I wasn't sure how I could use it with the battery that was molded in this kit . We'll save it for something later . Great to be back in the hobby again . How things have changed .
oldscool Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 That looks great and the replacement carbs and intake look much better than the kit parts anyway.
